Police arrested a Hampton man about noon Monday and charged him with burglary and grand larceny in connection with an incident at a Grafton home.

Lewis H. Riley Jr., 30, of the 200 block of West Gilbert St., allegedly stole about $3,000 worth of camera equipment, guns and jewelry from a home in the 500 block of Allen Mill Road on Thursday, Capt. Ron Montgomery said. Riley turned himself in to the Sheriff's Departmen t.

The burglary was discovered when the owner returned home to find a strange car in the driveway. The car was driven away and later found, with the stolen goods, at the scene of an accident about one-half mile from the burglarized house, Montgomery said. Riley was not with the car when it was found, Montgomery said.

Riley was being held in the county jail without bond Monday.

* Police are looking for a man in connection with a maiming and attempted rape of a young woman on Palace Lane early Saturday.

About 1 a.m., a shirtless white man in his late 20s or early 30s pointed a knife at a 20-year-old woman walking on Palace Lane, forced her to the side of the road and tried to rape her, Montgomery said. Before she was able to escape, the woman suffered wounds on her leg and hand that required stitches, he said.

The man had dark brown wavy hair and a moustache. He is between five feet 10 inches and six feet two inches tall, about 130 pounds, with a thin build and was last seen with a chain around his neck and wearing blue jeans.

The two youths picked up the victim while she was walking on Holly Point Road near Dare Road. The victim and the youths charged are all York County residents.

The victim was taken to Chisman, where she was raped and forced to commit sodomy, Extine said.

A 16-year-old boy was charged with rape and sodomy, while the 17-year-old was charged with rape.
